Frame, in Gardening, a term usually applied to movable structures used for the cultivation or the sheltering of plants. The most common form is that of the ordinary hotbed frame, which is a rectangular box of any convenient dimensions covered with glazed sashes; but they are made in many forms, according to fancy and the purpose for which they are particularly required.
